New retro Intellivision
I wonder if this has a big enough market for people wanting to play old simpler games? Maybe. I played the original Intellivision once or twice at a buddy's house. One was this sea military game. Seemed more complex than the Atari offerings. So strikes me as odd the more complex console would be the one to bring back the simpler retro games, as opposed to Atari.
I didn't have or follow Intellivision, but I didn't think it ever produced a game as advanced as Earthworm Jim. I see that came out in the 90s on Sega. So odd it's associated with Intellivision.

I do like that first game though.

Who/what are you talking about? The creator Doug TenNapel, or artist Nick Bruty? What did you read? I did a little googling, but I don't see anything.

I could be wrong, but that's what this one looks like to me.
Man I loved the first game...the music, the cartoonish antics, the background art, the "almost piss ya off sometimes" difficulty.
It was one of platformings top 10 to me.
In truth I've never put in time to finish the original sequel...didn't seem to quite strike twice for me. Looked fine though.
but yeah, between this coming out, (love me some neo-oldskool 2.5D) and that I think it almost seems destined to me a fail/oddity, I'll be grabbing one of these strange things soon as I can.

OK, you guys are talking about Earthworm Jim, not Intellivision. From the video, did you get the impression, despite the advanced console, they were sticking with older retro games?
